  • Analysis of Sex and Age Differences in Performance of Young Canadian Freestyle Swimmers
    Original Article Analysis of sex and age differences in performance of young Canadian freestyle swimmers TIANYUE RUBY SUN 1 White Oaks Secondary School, Oakville, Canada ABSTRACT This study is intended to determine sex and age differences in young Canadian freestyle swimmers aged from ≤10 to 18, for all 6 distances from 50m to 1500m in both short and long course indoor pools. The data set used in the studies is publicly available and categorized into sex/age/course/distance groups during seasons from 2008 to 2019. The sex differences in swimming speed were determined using independent Z- tests (two-sided, unequal SD). The age differences in swimming speed over all ages were analysed using classic one-way ANOVA with subsequent pairwise Tukey-HSD post-hoc tests and Welch’s ANOVA followed by pairwise Games-Howell post-hoc tests. They were then determined using paired two-sample t-tests (two- sided). Young male swimmers outperformed young female swimmers in most groups. Groups with similar performances or no significant differences were in younger age groups (10-year and 11-year). Sex differences increased as age increased, ranging from −0.96% to 13.54%. Sex differences in shorter distances and short course were smaller than in longer distances and long course for ≤12 years and became greater than in longer distances at ≥13 years. Age speed differences decreased as age increased until 17–18-years old, ranging from 12.79% to −0.37%. The performance of female swimmers became stable earlier than that of male swimmers. The age-to-age speed differences of male swimmers were greater than those of female swimmers.

  • Dold to Attempt Record-Setting Seventh Victory at the Empire State Building Run-Up Powered by the MMRF
    Contacts: Drea Braxmeier 212.423.2287 | [email protected] Media Relations Department, New York Road Runners Matt McCullough 212.642.7706 | [email protected] For Immediate Release Dold to Attempt Record-Setting Seventh Victory at the Empire State Building Run-Up Powered by the MMRF More than 650 participants ready to run up 1,576 steps in new time-trial format New York, January 25, 2012 —After a record sixth victory in 2011, Thomas Dold of Germany will go for his seventh straight win at the Empire State Building Run-Up Powered by the MMRF on Wednesday, February 8, it was announced today by New York Road Runners president and CEO Mary Wittenberg. This year, the race boasts two new features: a nighttime finish and a time-trial format. The 8:00 p.m. start time will allow participants to finish under the famed lights of the Empire State Building, and the move to a time-trial format will make it possible for additional climbers to participate—650 in all, with one climber starting every 10 seconds. “NYRR is so excited to again stage the ever-popular Empire State Building Run-Up Powered by the MMRF,” said Wittenberg. “We are confident that the new improvements—a nighttime finish and the time-trial format—will give all our runners an enhanced experience and challenge them in the most iconic building in the world.” Dold, 27, finished in 10 minutes, 10 seconds in 2011 and won by more than one minute. His sixth victory puts him ahead of Australian Paul Crake (1999–2003) and Al Waquie of the United States (1983–87) for most victories in this signature race on the NYRR calendar.

  • Stairway to Hell Stepping up to the Dve N T a U Challenge of 11,674 Steps E R H E
    GIANT STEPS STAIRWAY TO HELL STEPPING UP TO THE DVE N T A U CHALLENGE OF 11,674 STEPS E R H E ON THE RAILS T Duncan Craig hits RISING PRECIPITOUSLY the 10,000-step mark – and hits it hard. Not far to go… I S S U E TO THE SUMMIT OF A SWISS MOUNTAIN, DUNCAN CRAIG TACKLES EUROPE’S CRAZIEST RACE AND INVESTIGATES THE GROWING APPEAL OF STAIR RUNNING ● Basic race etiquette was one of the earliest casualties. The organisers had been quite clear – should we become aware of someone trying to pass us on the single-file steps during our interminable ascent, the would-be overtaker should say ‘treppe’ (‘stairway’ in Swiss-German) and we should step aside. But there’s something about being in the red zone – deeper in the red zone, in fact, that you’ve ever been – that relegates basic manners to the most inconsequential of matters. Survival instincts kick in and you become a selfish bugger. Or at least I did – ignoring pleas from behind, sticking to my line, forcing overtakers to brave the steeply sloping, chute-like channel that separates the steps from the funicular tracks. There was no way I was surrendering even the faintest sliver of momentum. When you have thousands of steps still ahead of you, such things take on an absurd importance. The Niesen-Treppen-Lauf (Niesenbahn stair race) had captivated me since I first read of it a decade ago. The Niesenbahn funicular railway is one of the Alps’ most accomplished engineering feats. Extending up the Tobleronic slopes of Mount Niesen, in Switzerland’s Bernese-Oberland, it cuts a neat swathe through the forested foothills and clings, stiff-fingeredly, to the barren upper slopes like a freeclimber.
